She turned to Logan and smiled. “Thank you,” she whispered, studying the hard line of his jaw. There was some good in him no matter what he thought about himself. This was the sweetest thing he could have done.
He turned and smiled at her, making her cheeks heat up. “Now you saw your owls.”
She grinned, nodding. “I saw my owls. It wasn’t all for nothing.”
Logan sat with her for twenty minutes as she observed them from the ground. “They sure do sleep a lot,” she said, laughing. All of the initial excitement had worn off of her about ten minutes ago. “Maybe I should have observed rocks for my paper instead. It seems like it would be just as interesting.”
“They’re not named sleepy owls for nothing,” Logan said, grinning.

Bella looked down at the empty coffee mug still in her hands. “Have any other cool stuff to show me?”
He looked at her with a grin. “Definitely.”
Chapter 6
“Swimming?” Bella asked, curling her nose up at the pond that smelled like rotten eggs. “I was hoping you had a hidden spa or something in mind.”
He smiled at her as he pointed to the pond that for some reason was steaming. “This is a hidden spa,” he said. “It’s a hot thermal pool.”
“A what?” she said, raising an eyebrow.
He grinned as he pulled off his shirt. “Just get in.”
She would have but she was too busy gawking at his shredded body. He was ripped with a broad muscular chest and deep abs that were chiseled as fuck. His arms were the thing of fantasies, toned over hours of chopping wood and doing manly shit. He was incredible. Completely gorgeous, even with the scars on his face that Bella didn’t seem to mind anymore. They gave his face a dark tragic look that was surprisingly hot.
“What are you staring at?” he asked, looking at her funny.
Abs, abs, and more abs.
“Nothing,” she said, looking away with her heart pounding. He was right. Swimming is definitely exciting.
He respectfully looked away as she stripped down to her bra and underwear and dipped a toe in the hot water. “I see what you mean,” she said as she jumped in, letting the waterline climb up to her neck. “It’s like a hot tub.”
She closed her eyes and moaned, letting the hot water soothe her aching muscles. This was definitely better than spending the long, boring day by herself in her tent.
“Why is it so hot?” she asked, opening one eye to look at the sexy bear shifter in front of her.
“It’s geothermally heated groundwater that comes from the earth’s heated crust,” he said, nodding.
“It’s what now?” she asked, looking at him with a blank face.
He grinned, inching a little closer to her. “The heat from the earth’s core makes it hot,” he said, putting it in laywoman’s terms.
She raised an eyebrow as she looked at him curiously. “You seem pretty smart,” she said. “When you’re not being an asshole.”
He ran a wet hand through his messy brown hair, slicking it back with the water. His brown eyes shined as he watched her intensely and she watched him back. He’s got nice lips. I wonder what they feel like.
“I’m sorry,” he said, biting his sexy bottom lip. “I’ll try to be more of smart Logan and less of asshole Logan.”
“That would be nice,” she answered with a grin. “Smart Logan is much more appealing.”
He turned away as redness flushed to his cheeks and Bella could see the hint of a smile cross his face before he showed her the back of his head. She took the opportunity to raise her chin and try to get another glimpse of that hard body. Stupid murky thermal water. She couldn’t see a thing.
“Where did you go to school?” she asked, wishing that he would turn around again. She liked looking in his soft eyes.
He swallowed before answering. “Harvard.”
“Harvard?” she spat out in disbelief. “
